Story
Welcome to my fundraising page for CoppaFeel! part deux!
I hold this charity very close to my heart as I found it during my own breast cancer diagnosis in 2022. I was classed as 'young' being in my late 30's and Coppafeel! was a welcome support network during my dark times.
I have worked hard during my recovery to not let my breast cancer diagnosis define me however, it has changed me in ways that I never anticipated. I still have side effects from chemotherapy and my double mastectomy has recently been causing some muscular issues in other parts of my body - I will not let this stop me moving my body and doing hard things!
This July, I will embark on a 5 day trek, over 100km, in Montenegro, in a bid to raise funds towards CoppaFeel's life-saving mission. Your donations will not only support my fundraising target, but most importantly CoppaFeel!. They are on a mission to stamp out the late diagnosis of breast cancer by making sure that young people are regularly checking their boobs, pecs and chests and getting to know their bodies in order to have the confidence to see their GP if something just doesn't feel normal.
As part of my fund and awareness raising, I will be hosting some AMAZING events that you can get involved with:
1. Virtual canicross challenge - run or walk with or without a dog in the month of March - sign up here: https://www.evententry.co.uk/virtual-canicross-challenge-for-coppafeel
2. Fun agility show in Dumfries, Scotland
3. Three Peaks Challenge in 24 hours with SRUC colleagues
